Get Him to the Greek

Aldous Snow releases his new album and lead single, 'African Child.' The single is met with harsh criticism, being labeled by NME as the worst thing to happen to Africa since apartheid, marking the beginning of Aldous's professional downfall.

Following the negative reception of his album, Aldous's girlfriend Jackie Q takes their son Naples away from him. This action plunges Aldous deeper into despair, leading him to indulge in excessive drinking and drug use.

Aaron Green, a talent scout at Pinnacle Records, is facing pressure at work due to the company's financial losses. He proposes the idea of bringing Aldous Snow to perform at the Greek Theatre to his boss, Sergio Roma, hoping to turn their fortunes around.

Before embarking on his journey to find Aldous, Aaron has an emotional farewell with his girlfriend Daphne. Their conversation about moving to Seattle escalates into a fight, leaving Aaron uncertain about their future together.

Upon finding Aldous in London, Aaron's attempts to retrieve him quickly spiral into chaos. They miss flights and engage in a wild night of debauchery, with Aaron's phone revealing unflattering footage to Daphne, straining his personal relationships further.

Aaron and Aldous finally arrive in New York for the highly-anticipated performance. As the pressure mounts from Sergio to keep Aldous sober, Aaron sacrifices his sobriety, highlighting the weight of responsibility he feels for Aldous's well-being.

Facing the pressure of the upcoming performance, Aldous struggles to remember the lyrics to 'African Child.' In a moment of panic, Aaron attempts to salvage the situation, showcasing his commitment to helping Aldous succeed despite his own battles.

Amidst the chaos, Aldous pulls off an unexpected performance of his classic song 'The Clap.' The crowd's excitement provides a temporary reprieve from the underlying tensions between him and Aaron as they navigate their struggles.

As the pair continue their journey, Aldous's personal demons begin to surface, leading him into morally questionable situations, including drug smuggling. Aaron learns that Aldous is deeply affected by his separation from Naples and feels unloved by his father.

During their road trip, mishaps abound, culminating in Aaron believing he is having a heart attack due to heavy drug use. This incident serves as a significant wake-up call for both men about the dangers of their lifestyle.

In the crucial seconds right before Aldous's performance, he receives reassurance from Aaron that he is loved by his fans. This moment highlights Aldous's need for connection and the importance of support from friends.

Despite suffering injuries and battling his addictions, Aldous takes the stage for his performance at the Greek Theatre. His determination to perform emphasizes the chaotic but meaningful journey he's taken in his career.

Feeling disillusioned after the tumultuous experience, Aaron chooses to leave his job at Pinnacle Records. This decision reflects his desire to pursue a healthier path and reassess his priorities in life.

Months after their adventures, Aldous embraces sobriety and finds renewed success in his career. His transformation signifies the positive changes in his life influenced by his connection with Aaron during their chaotic journey.

After the dramatic events, Aaron settles in Seattle, reflecting on the journey that has now come to a close. He finds peace and fulfillment, ensuring that the lessons he learned from Aldous become a foundation for a better life.
